Winter has Returned

Hi Andrew and Natasha,I just finished reading your story as listed on the Community Food Enterprise.org. Absolutely wonderful.It sounds the fishing has improved a fair bit or is that just my impression. What bothered me a bit is the cutting of the nets. Who the hell is doing something like that. Pretty sick minds. Wish I lived a bit closer, be at your place probably on a regular basis. Farm a small fruit farm just north of Belleville, 200km east of Toronto. The weather looks pretty rough up there. We have hardly any snow at all. Couple of inches at most and tomorrow they are predicting above zero and possibly rain. Makes an icy slippery mess.I have a daughter who lives and works in Toronto and I'll tell her where and when you guys are in Toronto. The whole family are fish lovers.

Introduction to Akiwenzie's Fish

We are a small First Nations sustainable commercial fishing and fish processing company on the west side of Georgian Bay. We are located just north of Wiarton at Neyaashiinigmiing formally known as Chippewas of Nawash.

The fish we offer is only wild caught out of the deep waters of Georgian Bay. The species we usually catch is whitefish and lake trout.

Our smoked fish is Maple smoked. It is smoked over maple wood chips for 6-8 hours and basted with maple syrup.

We have fresh fish that was just caught the day before and they are filleted, pinboned and packaged for market. We only bring the freshest fish and the fish that meet our very high standards to market. On days that the weather wasn't cooperating we will be offering frozen fish. The frozen fish is frozen the same day it was caught to capture the freshness.

We are a family of 5 and Andrew is the fisherman/processor/owner and Natasha is the smoker/processor.
